Then all: Jdg 20:2, Jdg 20:8, Jdg 20:11, Jdg 21:5; Deu 13:12-18; Jos 22:12 as one man: Sa1 11:7, Sa1 11:8; Sa2 19:14; Ezr 3:1; Neh 8:1 from Dan: Jdg 18:29; Sa1 3:20; Sa2 3:10, Sa2 24:2; Ch1 21:2; Ch2 30:5 with the: Num 32:1, Num 32:40; Jos 17:1; Sa2 2:9 unto the: Jdg 20:18, Jdg 20:26, Jdg 11:11 in Mizpeh: Jdg 10:17, Jdg 11:11; Jos 15:38, Jos 18:26; Sa1 7:5, Sa1 7:6, Sa1 10:17; Kg2 25:23; It does not appear that the Israelites on this occasion, were summoned by the authority of any one common head, but they came together by the consent and agreement, as it were, of one common heart, fired with a holy zeal for the honour of God and Israel. The place of their meeting was Mizpeh; they gathered together unto the Lord there; for Mizpeh was so very near to Shiloh, that their encampment might very well be supposed to reach from Mizpeh to Shiloh. Shiloh was a small town, and therefore, when there was a general meeting of the people to present themselves before God, they chose Mizpeh for their head quarters, which was the next adjoining city of note; perhaps, because they were not willing to give that trouble to Shiloh, which so great an assembly would occasion; it being the residence of the priests that attended the tabernacle. Judges 20:2
